PC Stuart Appleton said: “We are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen this man pulling drivers over and would like to speak to an Audi driver we believe the man stopped.

“It is concerning that someone may be imitating a police officer and we are keen to establish the facts around this incident.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101.
